Earth on Board

We were delighted to contribute our thoughts to the World Energy Council 26th Congress last week thanks to the intense participation of our founder and CEO Philippe JOUBERT. Celebrating the century of its first event held in London in 1924, the World Energy Congress is still the world’s largest and most influential energy event.   🎤 It has been a great opportunity to facilitate discussions on topics that are core to our concerns today such as the Water-Energy-Nexus and the crossing of planetary boundaries. And first and foremost, to share our thoughts on the role of board directors to take into account this new context and help build new thriving business models!   Thanks to all the co-panellists and experienced speakers that have shared their knowledge and opinions with us: 🏛 “Transformational Leadership: Accountability, Governance and Politics” with John Elkington, Doris Honold and Betty Sue Flowers ⚡ “Energy SOS : Protecting Planetary Boundaries” with Gina Domanig, Leena Srivastava, Rafael CAYUELA, Dean Cooper, Alejandro Litovsky 🌊 “Moving Forward with the Energy-Water-Food Nexus” with Dr. María Antonia Gwynn, Rajendra Prasad Goyal, Rehan Baig, Belynda Petrie, and Hasmik Barseghyan

#DirectorClimateJourney 💡 Session spotlight: In the opening session, we welcome Philippe JOUBERT from Earth on Board to discuss the evolving role of boards in the context of Climate Change. Philippe explains how ‘business as usual’ is no longer an option for companies, and how this new normal is changing the traditional role of the board of directors. Participants gain an understanding of the existing or upcoming sustainability-related disruptions for business models and advice on how to spark the discussion within their boards. Do you want to better understand how global progress recognising the role of companies in environmental and social issues is fundamentally changing the nature of Board duties and potentially exposing directors? Join us for the next Director Climate Journey - kicking off in February 2024. https://lnkd.in/g8Rn_rDx #sustainability #climatechange #business #governance #boardofdirectors #executiveeducation
